What is Overview of Mucor Species and Infections about?
This document describes the genus Mucor, which includes common soil fungi. Mucor species can infect humans, especially those with diabetes or weakened immune systems. They are identified through rapid white/yellow cottony growth in 1-5 days and spherical sporangia without stalks or roots. While most Mucor cannot grow at human body temperatures, some pathogenic species like M. indicus can cause mucormycosis, infecting sites like the sinuses, lungs and brain.
